Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
MOTD will air with no presenters at all.
That'll make a nice change, more action, less hot air.

Indeed, speaking of no bias the chairman donated £400k to the tories and facilitated an £800k loan to bozo but there's no bias there and didn't I read something earlier about an Attenborough documentary not being shown on bbc for fear of a right wing backlash wtf

Personally I just class him with many gobby "stars" who think just becasue they are famous they can post about politics. He should have stuck to football.

He can post what he wants within reason. You don't have to listen, I don't follow him on Twitter. Politics is everywhere so I don't see why talking about it should only be limited to the self-appointed gobby political commentators, at least people like Linker have done something with their lives beyond talking about politics.
It's not as if he mouthed off on Match of the Day either.

I’m not sure it’ll have more action it might just be shorter. Agree on the hot air.

The state broadcaster is worthy of its counterparts in Iran, Russia or North Korea.
As Alan Sugar demonstrates so successfully, its impartiality rules clearly depend on who you are and what issue of the day you feel like mouthing off about.

Mouthing off is our speciality here.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
The BBC currently has tight restrictions on what its news team can say on social media but not its other presenters. If it wants to review its rules that's one thing, but it can't operate in an ad hoc manner as it's done with Linneker and expect it to work.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
Remember when Andrew Neil, who presented the political programmes Sunday Politics and This Week on BBC One, Daily Politics & Politics Live on BBC2, sometimes hosted Newsnight on BBC2, The Andrew Neil Interviews on BBC1, all whilst posting outspoken political opinions in the Spectator, various newspapers, and Twitter, was pulled up for breaching the BBC Impartiality Rules?
No, me neither…

Yet more nonsense. It was a political appointment, so you are going to choose somebody you know.
No episode has been banned. They only made 5. The "sixth" was NOT made by the BBC and is going to be made available on iPlayer anyway.
Plenty of examples of where nature programmes have highlighted damage caused by "invasive alien species".

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
Journalists have been leaving the BBC in their droves for this reason, the BBC simply do not want their staff criticising the sitting government, I guess because they have to keep relying on the government to get their funding renewed.
Looks like it has gone up a level since they employed this new dodgy chairman though.

All six were made by Silverback Films, not the BBC. There are different statements on why the extra episode is not being shown on a linear channel. From The Guardian "Senior sources at the BBC told the Guardian that the decision not to show the sixth episode was made to fend off potential critique from the political right." The BBC denies this.
Not sure why the Chairman of the BBC needs to hold the same political views as the Prime Minister. Surely you pick the best person for the job, not ask your mates down the pub who's up for it?
